DOCKETED USNRC To: Peter B. Bloch, Presiding Officer Atomic Safety and Licensing Board U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission El JUN ~9 A9 :01 Washington, DC 20555 0FFICE OF SECFETARY Subject Ralph L. Tetrick DGCKETlH3 & 5LRVICE BRhHCH Denial of Application for SRO License Docket No: 55-20726-SP Date: June 6,1997 On May 27,1997, the Presiding Officer issued a Memorandum and Order for answers to questions relevant to Question #63. The following is rny response to the questions asked in said letter:
Quostion #1: of the memorandum and Order, the Presiding Officer states that my original discussion was directed to actions other than 'Immediate Actions'. If the Presiding Officer will refer to my original request on question #63 he will see that I contend that answer 'a'is also and 'Immediate Action' and therefore correct. Question #63 does not specify a specific ONOP and I contend that several ONOP's and ARP's could apply. They are as follows:
A) 3-ARP-097.CR - Control Room Annunciator Response (the ARP's are considered ONOP's as defined in 0-ADk 211 - Emergoncy and Off Normal Operating Procedure Usage - see attached page 9 of 0-ADM-211). The immediate action for 3-ARP-097.CR is to acknowledge the alarm, then refer to the correct Annunciator Panel. For Annunciator G-915 the response is to verify the alarm via Recorder R-1418. For Annunciator H 1/1 the response is to verify the alarm via levelindicator Ll-3-651 with corrective action to refer to 3-ONOP-033.1 or 3-ONOP-033.2 if applicable. (See attached pages of 3-ARP-097.CR).
B) 3-ONOP-033.1 - Spent Fuel Pit (SFP) Coo' ling System Malfunction - The immediate Action in the ONOP is: Verify Annunciated Alarm is Valid (see attached page of 3-ONOP-033.1).
C) 3-ONOP-033.2 - Refueling Cavity Seal Failure. The immediate Action for this ONOP is:
Sound Containment Evacuation Alarm (see attached page of 3-ONOP-033.2).
Since no specific ONOP is named, I contend that answer 'A'- Verify Alarms by checking containment sump level recorder and Spent Fuel Level Indication is an 'Immediate Action' with regard to 3-ARP-097.CR and 3-ONOP-033.1 and this would also be correct.
Question #2 you ask what provision would allow me to verify the alarms? The 'Immediate Action' of 3-ARP-097.CR and 3-ONOP-033.1 Require me to verify the alarms, also, FP&L's Management expectations and training reinforce this action (see attached procedures and FP&L's letter to the NRC). You also ask what I would do in the 20 seconds? I would refer to R-1418 and LI-3-651 as stated above.
The Presiding Officer also asks what would persuade me not to take the required 'Immediate Actions' l after verifying the alarms? My response is that verifying the alarm is an immediate Action. My original contention was that verifying the alarm was as much of an 'Immediate Action' as ' Sounding the Containment Evacuation Alarm', and that any and all corrective actions would be performed upon verification of the alarms.

~
9706120106 970606 PDR ADOCK 05000250 0 PDR
The Presiding Officer continues this train of thought by asking what Supervisory approval, if any, I would seek and what records would I create. Since I contend that I was performing 'Immediate Actions'per 3-ARP-097.CR and 3-ONOP-033.1, the following would be perfctmed: The ANPS/NPS would be informed upon receipt of any alarms and their status ie. cleared or locked in, he would then be informed of their verification and of any corrective actions performed. After all necessary corrective actions were performed the incident would be recorded in the RCO narrative logs. This would include the alarms that came in, the verification of the alarms, the actions taken to correct the condition, any procedures referred to or entered (ARP's or ONOP's) and all pertinent information conntcted with the incident.
Question #3 the Presiding Officer asks if any changes to procedures are required with respect to
'Immediate Actions', as an Operator I do not feel that a procedure change is required, I fr.el that the conditions of question 63 could apply to several different procedures and therefore both answers A and ,
B are correct. l The Officer also asks what principles govem the performance of 'Immediate Actions *? A NRC Licensed Individualis responsible for taking timely and proper action so as not to create or cause a hazard to
- safe Operation of the facility' etc. - refer to 0-ADM-101 (Procedure Writers Guide) and 0-ADM-200 ,
(Conduct of Operations) for explanation of timely (ie. Immediate Actions) and proper actions. '
This res ectfully concludes my response to your letter dated May 27,1997.

Dear Mr. Richards:
)
Re: Rainh Tetrick Exam Aconal J In reference to information requested by Mr. R. Croteau related to Ralph Tetrick's NRC Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) License Exam administered June 1996, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) has the following positions:
- 1. A personal letter was sent by our employee Mr. Brian Stamp l representing his personal opinion about Question 063 of the !
NRC SRO Exam. Since this was a personal letter, not on a !
company letterhead nor signed by an officer of the company, l it does not represent the position of FPL.
- 2. If the question is interpreted to be asking for an Off Normal Operating Procedure (ONOP) immediate. action, response (b) is correct. Question 063 however, asks for an IMMEDIATE ACTION without specifying that it is looking for the ONOP IMMEDIATE ACTION. The only way this is implied in the question is by the words "IMMEDIATE ACTION" being capitalized, which is the ,
I format used in the ONOPs.
If the question is interpreted to be asking for an immediate.
action for the receipt of an annunciator, response (a) is correct. Management's policy and expectation of operators is to validate all alarms by checking appropriate instrumentation prior to taking action. Additionally, the Annunciator Response Procedure (ARP) instructs the operator to verify the alarm with the indications contained in response (a). See the attached ARPs for the two annunciators listed in Question 063.
It is FPL's position that the best answer to the question is response (b), but that the question could be interpreted such that response (a) is also correct. As a result, Question 063 as written, has two possible correct answers.
A an FPL Group company

- 3. Management's policy and expectation of operators to validate all alarms by checking appropriate instrumentation prior to taking action has been reinforced in the simulator training program. This policy provides assurance that the appropriate actions are being taken for valid plant conditions and does '
not result in an operator failing to follow an appropriate- '
procedure. -

Subject:
NRC Staffs' motion for reconsideration in the matter of l' Ralph L. Tetrick.
1 It'is expected that the Licensed Operators at Turkey Point verify plant. conditions when-one or more annunciators are received in tne control room _ prior to taking corrective actions. -
In'the case of Question #63, I fully expect the Operators to verify the decreese in the Spent Fuel Pool level and the increase in the Containment Sump level by the indicators located within .
the surveillance area of the control room. This action would only_take seconds and could preclude erroneously sounding the containment _ evacuation alarm. During refueling outages, there are numerous jobs going on simultaneously inside the containment.
Requiring all personnel to evacuate the area unnecessarily could pose a larger safety hazard than would the increased radiation levels at the refueling stations for those few seconds. In i addition, the Training Departments: question bank has been revised concerning the correct. answer to Question #63.
